Pepsiman (PS1) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- A playthrough of KID's 1999 Japan-only action/racing game for the Sony PlayStation, Pepsiman.
Played through on the normal difficulty level. The entire game is also in English, making it nice and import-friendly.
Pepsiman (ペプシマン) is yet another one of those completely bizarre games that we never received in the West. It features Pepsiman, the Japanese Pepsi superhero mascot, coming to the rescue of helpless, parched Pepsi-loving victims of circumstance. A delivery truck breaks down and people are waiting? Oh no! People are trapped in a burning building and emergency services can't get to them? Ahh! These scenarios and more await our intrepid capitalistic champion of high fructose corn syrup. It's pretty surreal.
It plays likes Temple Run except that it's not endless, and each level has cans that you can collect to unlock features like different costumes and the expert mode. It plays surprisingly well - there are no problems at all with the controls, but God is this game difficult. I really practiced a ton before recording this: the last two stages are absolutely brutal. Like NES-era hard. It's all pretty enjoyable though once you take a break from raging.
The graphics are really nice and sharp - surprisingly so for a PS1 game - and the music is quite the novelty. Granted, every tune is a remix of the mascot's theme song, but you get it in all sorts of styles. I'm a big fan of the boss stage dubstep/rave mix. The lyrics... or lyric, to be more exact, is pretty hysterical. Every five seconds you'll hear it singing, "Pepsiman!" That's about it, really.
I don't particularly like the video clips though. That man that is (I guess) representing America is pretty thoroughly offputting. He reinforces loads of hilarious stereotypes, but he just makes me cringe in an, "Ugh, that's nauseating," kind of way. His Japanese-friendly English lines are pretty damned funny though. Pepsi for Pizza! and Pepsi for TV game! Made me laugh. And his shirt had me in stitches every time I saw it. He's reminds me of Roseanne Barr in that he's funny, but he's also a thoroughly embarrassing ambassador for a nation of over 300 million people.
So, it's not just a completely odd advertising vehicle, but Pepsiman is legitimately a pretty good game.

The fact that AVGN got THIS SAME GUY to make his appearance on his Pepsi man episode was fucking awesome
Keep swearing and I'll report you!
@@mathiastube4716 Are you joking? This isn't a kids only channel and it's not your video.
@@vigilant_1934 But swearing is not good, and offends to people!
@@mathiastube4716 Man... You need to shut up, go get a life dude....
@@mathiastube4716in fact... your mom Its so fat but she needs go to The hospital & gym by The way....
Pepsiman is yet another thoroughly odd, Japanese-only WTF type of experience, but with some of the best story scenes and music ever in a video game.
My personal favorite bit is when they sing "Pepsiman"! ;)
The actor, btw, is a guy called "Mike Butters" and he's also starred in saw, (as a victim, unfortunately). He has his own twitter page and a t-shirt with him and pepsiman on it. Apparently, according to a conversation with a guy from AGDQ, the producer of the game told him to act as poorly as possible. I think he nailed it pretty well. :)
Great gameplay, btw. I got a rom to play this game, and it wasn't too bad until the last 2 levels, which, as you said, are very much "NES hard." I had a great time playing it though, and managed to finish it in about an hour. I might just import it to have a copy for myself.
Bepisman is the only good 3D Sonic game.
NintendoComplete: Wow, gameplay from that was sooner than I expected...
But anyway, thanks for that gameplay!
This game is actually pretty rare nowadays: why do all these obscure games have to be so wallet-draining?
Dominik Krzemiński Np! Hahaha I've had it recorded for a longtime though :) it was my intention to upload it after King of Crusher, so you just had uncannily good timing on that request lol.

Pepsi is Life
pepsi for funerals
32:09 Excuse me
Let me handle the story.
*1st Stage:*
It first starts with people buying beverage, the one known as Pepsi, in the vending machine. But then it runs out of Pepsi, and people then are like crazy that they are actually going on a riot because of that. So the truck goes to bring more Pepsi, but the tires popped out. Therefore, Pepsiman comes out to help and bring more Pepsi. Luckily, he was able to reach where people are chanting the word "Pepsi," right next to an empty vending machine. Later, the truck accidentally hit Pepsiman, launching him over the large can of Pepsi, leaving Pepsiman to run from that large can.
*2nd Stage:*
After Pepsiman escaped from the large can, he approach the firefighter, who tells him that there is a fire coming out of the building. And the rest of the firefighters came to stop the fire. But then the firefighter said that people are dehydrated of their throat _(I don't know; I'm just saying that)_ and needed something to drink. Responding to this, Pepsiman reaches on top of the building, jumping far from that, and uses his power to spread the Pepsi around to people before falling off the building. He then landed on the pizza truck and, for unknown reasons, the truck begin to run over Pepsiman. But he succeeded by running before the truck goes away, suddenly hitting the boxes of Pepsi. _(Kind of weird if you tell me)_
*3rd Stage:*
The next morning, the airplane suddenly stops and landed on the desert. Luckily, nobody was hurt or killed, _(I actually don't know how they survived in that airplane)_ but they are exhausted and needed to drink. So Pepsiman came to help because the helicopters that the navigator called but will take some time to arrive. Throughout the desert and through the mine, he found people near the airplane, and uses the same power like he did in the beginning. *_(Read 1st Stage for more information)_* Suddenly, out of nowhere, the bisons hit Pepsiman, where he landed on the logs, therefore it begins to roll forward. And then Pepsiman ran off from the logs before it hits the wall, destroying the stack of logs. _(Kind of weird of you asked me for those logs sticking together)_
*4th and Final Stage:*
When Pepsiman returns home, which is the Pepsi City, _(Most likely due to the town having ads and merchandise about Pepsi)_ the computer suddenly went out of control, causing the havoc of dehydration, spreading to other computers, exhaustion, lack of Pepsi, fires rarely seen but once at the time, more riots, and one serious problems that will affect the whole world: *Destruction.* _(That is WAAAAYYYY too cruel, literally)_ Pepsiman soon becomes so brave to go through the city, into the factory, reaching the programming room to uses his power one final time to get the computer to normal condition, saving the whole company and the world! But that doesn't stop there, as the another large can fall off the marble to roll over Pepsiman, after he exits the factory, but then hits the wall, ending Pepsiman's adventure as more people begins to celebrate, thanks to this heroic mascot that gave everyone _(Well not me actually)_ Pepsi.
Man, good old 90s with their advertising techniques... I recall there also was a Coca Cola Kid game for the Game Gear, which incidentally only came out in Japan as well. That one had some cutscenes in Japanese, but it was fan-translated ages ago.
Marius Amber I remember that one! It was cool, not as good as this though :) at least imo
Strangely loved this game. The melodic charm followed by the gameplay are what drag me in. If only all Japanese import games were this easy to understand! Learning Japanese is challenging enough.
*Pepsi for Internet Video!!!*
Pepsi for Pokémon fans as well.
Pepsi maaaa......aaaan! That part always made me laugh.
This game needed to be on America and the Rest of the World.
Pepsiman deserves a remastered, I called it “Pepsiman: Refreshed”.
Pepsiman should be in Smash
"Mike Butters" should be in Smash!! xD
Pepsi for Smash
*PEPSI FOR TV GAME*

Pepsiman Pepsiman does whatever a man drinking Pepsi can.
Got diabetes? Your not alone. He has a 20 pound kidney stone
Change "your" into "you're" and it's perfect!
Pepsi: the budget-friendly line of diabetus testing supplies from Liberty Medical!
Captain Pepsolin
look out here comes the Pepsiman.
Pepsimaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!
I'll be singing that the rest of the day now
I'm always amazed when these product tie-in games are sold and not given away, especially one like this that is such blatant advertising, lol.
Yellowblanka Haha seriously. They go back a long ways though, even Mario did it! Have you seen this game? ruclips.net/video/SsjPIgE-smI/видео.html
Lol, no, I was not aware of that game. I hope that was at least cheaper than the standard Mario Bros. cart due to that advertising.
Yellowblanka Oh yeah, way cheaper since the ads subsidized the dev costs
I actually have a physical copy of this. Bought it at Anime Expo 2000. The Completionist even did an episode for it, though if it was within the first 120 episodes you might not see it back for a while. ... I'm guessing the line at the end should have been "Pepsi: My Only Choice" but that it didn't jive with Japanese word order.
Crazy and fun game. Ive played it these days. The only "little" problem is the song repeating all the game, and if you play enough it will sticks in your head and soul!
I remember this game from a friend of mine who have a modded PS1 to play pirated Playstation games, among his pile of game he have was this one. I always wondered who that pepsi drinking guy was.
The actor, is a guy called Mike Butters.xD
Hanferd my friend modded his PS1 to play Final Fantasy VII a few months before it was released in the states. I would have done it for this game instead
The best gameplay of Pepsiman!!! Perfect Perfect Perfect Perfect! 100% ;D
Nerd
21:57 That's the most aggressive sentient log pile I've ever seen. Also the only sentient log pile I've ever seen.
thecowboy2 Seriously. Did Pepsiman steal its bike??
Who's here from the Angry Video Game Nerd or Game Grumps?
Pepsiman can really get his can moving. ;-)
One of the best PS1 games of all time
+ Fighting forces 1,2 - Jackie chan - Power rangers 😭
TV Game Guy appearance In AVGN shows. Angry Video Game Nerd brought you here in the Pepsiman
Aah, fun times playing this game on my PS1... ^_^
0:31 That El Pollo Loco is still there, and near Randy's Donuts, also TGI Fridays
This post brought to you by Coca-Cola. _Drink Coca Cola and you'll enjoy it!_
Lol Where was this filmed at?
1200 W Manchester Blvd, Inglewood, CA 90301
the 76 station is still there too
knuclear200x no shit? That’s awesome
@@knuclear200x I didn't know there were any 76 stations left :0 it's been a long time since I've seen one.
YOURE DOING PRETTY GOOD! HAVE A PEPSI
Yay! Diabetus!
I remember playing this game as a kid good times
Awww now I understand that Kardashian commercial now
19:06 Watch out for attacks by M. Bison.
All I'm thinking about watching this vid is diabetes
drzazgi that’s why you buy a Pepsi-brand insulin pump!
Coca Cola = Switch (Nintendo)
Pepsi = PlayStation (Sony)
Love the visual style.
This game is so wild and insane, but in the good way!
A shame I never got a chance to play this game it looks kind of fun, even if it weird as all heck.
(the prices are terrifying, and I don't trust reproduction carts)
One of my favorite PSX games ever, It is an runner extremely creative and funny.
It does give a sense of 90 for all sides and I won't lie I really like the man house.
It is not perfect but is absolutely a good game.
Who would not want to play a game when you control a hero for save the world!
.

From being thirsty! (I need a pepsi can...)
Trivia fact: This is a bit knowledge in Latinamerican places thanks to piracy.
as an pepsi fan, i consider this an absolute win
*Pepsi, only my choice.*
before all smartphones running games were cool
I didn't know this existed!
Pepsi for pizza
Muitas horas da pré adolescências dedicadas a jogar esse jogo hehehe.
Saudades
Is this a real PSX game ?
5:30 Rolling around in the speed of HELP!!
32:12 just like our parents says "Don't drink too much sodas "
So jealous. I got this game but it won't play on my modded ps1. I absolutely love the theme. It's good workout music. Damn, I want to play this!
MFields2178 If the game has an anti-mod protection or you don't have a stealth mod chip, you could probably just patch the check out of the iso
NintendoComplete Unfortunately I'm not smart enough for that. I will just have my video game friends check it out or buy a Japanese ps1.
9:00 THAT GUYS PROBABLY DEAD BUT I GOTTA GET THOSE PEOPLE PEPSI!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wish we got this game in the US .
*PEPSI MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN*
I love to drink Pepsi-Cola
Mike Butters is epic
I met him and didn't know who he was until after. He's very down to earth
@@rachael8867 that's cool to notice because he seems to be a good guy indeed. He had a lot of fun with "Angry Videogame Nerd" were he played this character from Pepsiman once more.
I'm glad the guy peed at the end. Especially after seeing all those cans...
Who came here after watching the latest AVGN?
I know I am!
Same
Yea back when people used to drink Pepsi like water!
What is pretty savage is drinking Coca-Cola while playing this.
this is problobly the reason they created the ps1 slim & 5inch screen
for this type of games when you to to a trip and with the road it conbines more that trip feeling (for personal exprerience)
Pretty good graphics for its time.
An inspiration to Pepsidrinkers worldwide!
lol this existed?! thx for sharing
Looks like pepsiman went to the Prometheus school of running away from things.
YOU BEAT THE GAME WOOHOO *Rolls like a dog on the 10 million pepsi cans* HO HO HO WEEEEEEE !!!!
@Row Kah yeah he had to pick up his grandma from bingo practice cuz she want a stripper on pawn stars
19:29 My toes! My toes!
Oh man that has to hurt just looked up at 6:40 XD
Huh... is it resemble tetris party in the game on the dsi xl? Ie the ds game pak titled tetris party [deluxe?] Meaning as in the clear sound at end of a stage?
AVGN Sent Me Here, Anyone Else?
And this is why I drink Coke.
8:00 A cross between Lorne Armstrong and George "dubya" Bush lol. I've played though this on EPSXE from time to time since 2014 and still doesn't get old. Not so sure I agree with you on the difficulty, but going off of NES, I would say Astyanax is comparable. Great run bud!
J-MAN Yeah, esp the Dubya that choked on a pretzel and got rug burn on his face lol. And thanks!
Pepsi for NFL game time and don't forget the bag of chips
I want this on the PS5.
Pepsi man is. CUTE!!!
you're great 😍💙
I wish i had a Pepsi right now X.X
GraveKommander then the game’s job is done ✅
0:51 is that robin Williams
is your copy of the game come in .ace format? can you send me some guide on how to get those to work? I really want to play this because it looks very fun.
+TheDemoniusX I ripped a legit disc. Ace is a compression format like zip, just gotta find a program that can handle it
NintendoComplete
Thanks for the reply as always.
looked at the thumbnail then saw nintendocomplete and the first thing that came to mind was a nintendocomplete face reveal video i was all 'breh i didn't know you were american' 😆😆😂
Majoras Hahaha oh god, no that's definitely not. He would make two of me :D but in all fairness, I'm Americanized enough that I might as well be American anyway.
yea i've never seen you use british slang before i don't think. and to be fair that guy would make two of me also LOL
I'm really craving a Coke now
DRINK! what kind of a title is that
Angry video game nerd brought me here.
13:52 Pepsiman 2: Truck Strikes Back
Wow. just wow. I'm less than 2 minutes in and this is the weirdest fucking thing ever. :/
Aaron Booth Yeah, isn't it pretty fantastic like that?
Seriously, what powers does Pepsi man have? That he can run kinda fast? Why would he have to pick up stray cans of pepsi? Shouldn't he already have Pepsi? Like, he should be made of it or shoot it or something. I am questioning my very existence now.....
Frantic speech, rapid heartbeat and Diabetes.
+Yellowblanka Sounds like how I always pictured the Micro Machines guy
NintendoComplete - LOL.
Peppusi-Menu!
29:13 "Clear Pepsi!"
PEPSI FOR PIZZA

Was there ever a Cokeman in Japan?
Don't they call that salaryman? ;)
Is the middle-aged guy just part of the game or is he the youtuber find out next time.
+TheZombout Lmao, what a depressing thought
Sorry lol. I've never seen this game.

MIKE BUTTERS ATE SO MUCH PEPSI HE'S NOW FAT!!!!
Can you play pepsiman in UK I from London got UK console on eBay says international and from Japan. Would it work in UK this game
Yeah, you can, but you'll need a way to play it in NTSC. If the system isn't modified with a 50/60hz switch, it's not going to play properly on a PAL TV.
NintendoComplete on eBay found Japanese PS1 console from Leeds. Pepsiman game dispatched from Beijing. Should I order the game from Beijing or Tokyo for Japanese console. I tried to order gameshark from UK got canceled saying it won't work in UK. Other gameshark game came said for us console it won't work
NintendoComplete NintendoComplete there's Japanese PS1 and 2 in my country I heard it's better to buy PS2 Japanese since PS1 games play in PS2. Also
NintendoComplete PS2 has component outpout
+steverfc7 There wasn't any Playststion stuff officially released in China, and Pepsiman only came out in Japan, so both would work fine. They'd both be Japanese
Coca Cola for tv operas
